Won twice for Richard Hannon, including on soft, and it was a promising stable debut at Newcastle 15 days ago given she had been off the track for a year; one to be interested in.

Won first time out in her first two seasons for Richard Hannon, which bodes well as she returns from one year off, having been picked up for 27,000gns in the spring; interesting to see how she goes in the market on her Tapeta debut.

Form & Verdict
First foal of Group 1 winner Skitter Scatter; promising second on 6f course debut (good to firm) and built on that when filling the same position at Newmarket (6f, good) 19 days ago; the third gave the Newmarket form a boost when scoring at Lingfield on Saturday; looks a winner in waiting.

His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark.

A likely type on breeding, being a half-brother to connections' 5.5f/6f winner Pink Crystal (including Listed; RPR 107) and out of a 6f and 7f (Listed) 2yo winner (100); it'll be very interesting to see what the betting makes of him.
